Foreshock
But here’s a minor sour note anyway. Can the county please do something to upgrade its goddamn Internet broadcasting apparatus? We’ve grown used to the insane, proprietary, Microsoft-developed video format the county employs to stream meetings of the Board of Supervisors to the Web, and long ago we developed illegal workarounds to defeat it. But when a not insignificant percentage of the universe tunes in Tuesday morning to get a quake damage update, and when a cold, heartless black box appears where the Rockwellesque visage of Board Chair Clif Clendenen should be, and when we call the county Information Tech department to ask what’s up, you’re really going to tell us that you only have the capacity to stream to 18 different people, maximum? Eighteen?
You sell yourselves short, folks. We’ll admit that we’ve never had any problems getting a connection in the past, but who knows — you may just do something newsworthy once in a while.
Think on it!

Good boy, Hank. I know our OS is a semi-functional headache to use, but we’re sticking it to The Man.
